    Why you should NOT use custom themes


    So I was trying to make Windows 10 look like Vista fair enough. I found a theme made by some dude on DeviantArt can't remember his name for the life of me who made some cool Vista themes. I tried them but then I realized I didn't patch the UX dlls you see where this is going so I did that. Then I tried the themes again.But I did an oopsie and now I can't open Settings the oopsie: having BasicThemer enabled. I haven't restarted yet. Any help?Here's the prompt I get when trying to open Personalization:

    Picture in custom theme disappeared

    Unfortunately, I have already tried this. My custom theme (as is true of all the custom themes on my computer), does not have any associated folder. The folders appear to only be listed for actual Microsoft themes.

    Customizing Themes

    Yes you can create your own themes if that is what you are asking.

    We do this at our office for our corp image. Create a theme and desktop image then capture that image and reuse it.

    See link on step by step on how to do this.

    Customizing Themes

    Thank You Sarah.

    That was really helpful.

    Do you have the step-by-step on how I can make that custom theme to be used on all computers in the organization.

    I have ever used an application to roll out this using group policy.

    Regards

    Reuben
